Ingredients
  • 398 mL can sliced beets, drained
  • unsweetened apple sauce
  • 2 tbsp. water
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. white vinegar
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup white flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup Splenda
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cloves

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Oil or spray two 8- or 9-inch cake pans.
  2. Put the drained beets into the food processor with 1/4 cup (clear) water, and process until pureed.
  3. Put the pureed beets into a 2-cup measure. Add enough apple sauce to reach the 2-cup line.
  4. Add the 2 tablespoons water, vanilla extract, and vinegar to the beets and mix well.
  5. Mix the dry ingredients together, add the beet mixture and stir until well-combined.
  6. Bake for 35 minutes Test by inserting a toothpick into the center; it's done when the toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.

Can you just use 1 cup of splenda of instead of sugar and splenda , and also use all wheat flour instead of mix


All wheat flour yes, but it will be very dense. as for the splenda you can try but the result will be denser and possibly drier. Good luck!


Jo Jo I tried the cake it is very good but you were right it is a little heavy using the ingredients that I used, but it was still moist. I even made my icing from sugar free fat free choc mousse and it turned out good. Thanks for your help
